 A timely release in light of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, "Call Jane" is an abortion-themed drama starring Elizabeth Banks and Sigourney Weaver. In this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss the history of the Jane Collective, which provided abortion services for women in the years before the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. Marie and Mike also talk about "Triangle of Sadness," the latest film from director Ruben Ostlund ("Force Majeure" and "The Square"). The story concerns what happens to a pleasure boat cruise populated by spoiled rotten rich people and the servants who cater to their every whim. Although Marie liked this film more than Mike did, they really enjoyed disagreeing about it.

"Till" is the powerful account of the racist murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi in 1955 and how his mother Mamie insisted that the world see what had been done to her son. In this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss a crucial episode in the civil rights movement, and how this feature film brings that history alive. Marie and Mike also talk about "Tar," in which Cate Blanchett gives an impressive performance as a conductor whose professional accomplishments are more than matched by shortcomings in her personal life. Although Marie and Mike have reservations about this film, it does offer behind-the-scenes insights into the world of classical music.

Dwayne Johnson is a formidable presence in the superhero movie "Black Adam," which HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss in this podcast episode. Johnson plays a figure from the ancient world brought to life again in the modern world, where his superpowers prompt a lot of computer-generated special effects. Marie enjoys this film more than Mike does, but both agree that it predictably satisfies the expectations for a superhero story. Marie and Mike also discuss "Ticket to Paradise," a silly comedy whose major selling points are George Clooney, Julia Roberts and tropical beaches. It's pleasant to watch and that's more than you can say for many movies.

What does it take to cater an event? Join our host Tim Banks, and HCC alum and owner of Putting on the Ritz, Bobby Mitchell, as they discuss the trajectory of a family business that has grown from picnics, and barbeques, and survived a pandemic, all while Putting on the Ritz. #HCC #howardcounty #culinaryarts #teaching #business
